The resultant of `vecA` and `vecB` is perpendicular to `vecA`. What is the angle between `vecA` and `vecB` ?

A

`cos^(-1)((A)/(B))`

B

`cos^(-1)(- (A)/(B))`

C

`sin^(-1)((A)/(B))`

D

`sin^(-1)(-(A)/(B))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

`tan alpha = (B sin theta )/( A+ B cos theta ) = tan 90^(@) = oo`
thus, `A+B costheta =0 rArr cos theta = - A//B`
